Using bottled salad dressing, my cousin put a twist on a recipe I have used for years and came up with this super easy crowd pleaser. We have this with roasted potatoes and Greek salad all summer... and the kids love it! Ingredients:
4 thick boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 (8 ounce) bottle italian salad dressing (i recommend wishbone or prepared good seasons. do not use fat free!) or 1 (8 ounce) bottle caesar salad dressing (i recommend wishbone or prepared good seasons. do not use fat free!) |
Directions:
1. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry.
2. Sprinkle both sides of the breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, using more or less to taste.
3. Put chicken in a dish and add about 1/3 cup of the salad dressing, making sure all of the chicken is coated. Cover. A plastic bowl with a lid works well.
4. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two.
5. Grill over medium direct heat for 8-10 minutes or until juices run clear.
6. Remove from grill to a cutting board, cover with foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
7. Slice breasts on a diagonal crosswise in 1/4 inch slices.
8. Toss slices on a shallow serving platter with the remainder of the salad dressing coating all the chicken well. Use more dressing if desired.
9. Serve hot or at room temperature.
10. Note: To prepare as an appetizer, cube chicken in small chunks, marinate as above, grill 3-5 pieces on small wooden skewers (soaked in water), brush on salad dressing and serve.
